About Gather Pop-Up Shop Designers

Vancouver’s design scene is getting more and more competitive and some of the best and brightest designers will show their goods at Gather. AW tote bags by Andrea Wong are appearing all over East Van right now. Inspired by the NorthWest coast, Wong crafts bags from colourful reclaimed blankets and attaches repurposed belts as tote handles.

But the designers at Gather aren’t limited to clothing and accessories. Expect to find ceramics, cheesecake pros, coffee roasters, art and even the This Is East Van photography project. Browse the full list of designers here.
